NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements include LCNB Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: LCNB National Bank and LCNB Risk Management, Inc., its captive insurance company. All material intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

The unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of consolidated operations, and cash flows for the interim periods, as required by Regulation S- X, Rule 10 - 01.

The consolidated condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2025 . These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, accounting policies, and financial notes thereto included in LCNB's 2024 Annual Report on Form 10 -K filed with the SEC.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Specifically, prior period cash flows previously presented as a change in other liabilities have been reclassified to funding of tax credit investments to align with the current year's reporting. These reclassifications do not impact the reported results of operations.

ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

ASU 2023 - 09 “ Income Taxes (Topic 740 ): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ”

ASU No. 2023 - 09 was issued in December 2023 and became effective for LCNB on January 1, 2025. The amendments require that public business entities on an annual basis ( 1 ) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation, and ( 2 ) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income (or loss) by the applicable statutory income tax rate). The amendments require that all entities disclose on an annual basis the following information about income taxes paid: ( 1 ) the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign taxes; and ( 2 ) the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid (net of refunds received) is equal to or greater than 5 percent of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received). The amendments also require that all entities disclose the following information: ( 1 ) income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign; and ( 2 ) income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign. Adoption of ASU No. 2023 - 09 did not have a material impact to the financial statements of the Company.

ASU 2024 - 01 “ Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718 ) - Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards, ”

ASU No. 2024 - 01 was issued in March 2024 and became effective for LCNB on January 1, 2025. It clarifies how an entity determines whether a profits interest or similar award is within the scope of Topic 718 or is not a share-based payment arrangement and, therefore, is within the scope of other guidance. ASU 2024 - 01 provides an illustrative example with multiple fact patterns and also amends certain language in the “Scope” and “Scope Exceptions” sections of Topic 718 to improve its clarity and operability without changing the guidance. Entities can apply the amendments either retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements or prospectively to profits interest and similar awards granted or modified on or after the date of adoption. If prospective application is elected, an entity must disclose the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle. Adoption of ASU No. 2024 - 01 did not have a material impact to the financial statements of the Company.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS NOT YET EFFECTIVE

From time to time the FASB issues an ASU to communicate changes to U.S. GAAP. As of June 30, 2025 , there are no newly issued but not yet effective ASUs that could have an effect on LCNB’s financial position or results of consolidated operations.

NOTE 2 - BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Eagle Financial Bancorp, Inc.

On April 12, 2024, LCNB acquired Eagle Financial Bancorp, Inc. (“EFBI”), the holding company for EAGLE.bank, an Ohio state-chartered bank. Under the terms of the definitive merger agreement, EFBI merged with and into LCNB Corp., immediately followed by the merger of EAGLE.bank with and into LCNB National Bank. EAGLE.bank operated three full-service banking offices in Cincinnati, Ohio, which became offices of LCNB after the merger. This transaction increased LCNB’s presence in the Cincinnati market.

Subject to the terms of the merger agreement, EFBI shareholders had the opportunity to elect to receive either 1.1401 shares of LCNB Corp. stock, $ 19.10 per share in cash for each share of EFBI common stock owned, or a combination thereof subject to at least 60 %, but not more than 70 %, of the shares of EFBI being exchanged for LCNB common stock. The fair value of the common stock issued as part of the consideration was determined on the basis of the closing price of LCNB's common stock on the acquisition date.

NOTE 2 - BUSINESS COMBINATIONS (continued)

Effective April 11, 2025, management finalized the fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities within the 12 month post-acquisition date, as allowed by GAAP. The consideration adjustments in the table above are associated with the unearned portion of EAGLE.bank's employee stock ownership plan. The other assets, other liabilities and resulting deferred tax adjustments in the table above were related to the updated fair value adjustments.

The amount of goodwill recorded reflects LCNB's expansion in the Cincinnati market and related synergies that are expected to result from the acquisition and represents the excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired. The goodwill will not be amortizable on LCNB's financial records and will not be deductible for tax purposes. Total goodwill will be subject to an annual test for impairment and the amount impaired, if any, will be charged to expense at the time of impairment.

Direct expenses related to the EFBI acquisition totaled $ 124 thousand during the three and six months ended June 20, 2025, and totaled $ 2.3 million and $ 2.8 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 . They were expensed as incurred and are recorded as merger-related expenses in the consolidated statements of income.

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT SECURITIES (continued)

Each quarter, LCNB performs an analysis to determine if any of the unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities are comprised of credit losses as compared to unrealized losses due to market interest rate adjustments. The assessment includes a review of the unrealized loss for each security issuance held; the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including external credit ratings and recent downgrades; and LCNB's ability and intent to hold the security for a period of time sufficient for a recovery in value. LCNB also considers the extent to which the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies and any guarantee of issued amounts by those agencies. The portfolio continues to consist of a mix of fixed and floating-rate, high quality securities, largely rated AA (or better), displaying an overall effective duration of approximately 3.1 years. No credit losses were determined to be present as of June 30, 2025 , as there was no credit quality deterioration noted. Therefore, no provision for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities was recognized for the second quarter of 2025 .

Debt securities with a market value of $ 134.9 million and $ 116.2 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 , respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes required or as permitted by law.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The ACL is an estimate of the expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, which is measured using relevant information about past events, including historical credit loss experience on financial assets with similar risk characteristics, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the remaining cash flows over the contractual term of the financial assets. A provision for credit losses is charged to operations based on management’s periodic evaluation of these and other pertinent factors.

QUANTITATIVE CONSIDERATIONS

The ACL is primarily calculated utilizing a DCF model. Key inputs and assumptions used in this model are discussed below:

•

Forecast model - For each portfolio segment, an LDA was performed in order to identify appropriate loss drivers and create a regression model for use in forecasting cash flows. The LDA utilized peer FFIEC Call Report data for all pools and was last updated for the September 30, 2024 ACL calculation based on relevant information available at March 31, 2024.

•

Probability of default – PD is the probability that an asset will be in default within a given time frame. The Company has defined default as when a charge-off has occurred, a loan goes to non-accrual status, or a loan is greater than 90 days past due. The forecast model is utilized to estimate PDs.

•

Loss given default – LGD is the percentage of the asset not expected to be collected due to default. The LGD is derived from company specific and peer loss data.

•

Prepayments and curtailments – Prepayments and curtailments are calculated based on the Company’s own data. This analysis is updated when materially relevant.

•

Forecast and reversion – There were no changes to the Company's forecast or reversion periods during the second quarter of 2025; as of June 30, 2025 , the Company continues to utilize a four -quarter reasonable and supportable forecast period with a six -quarter straight line reversion to the long-term historical average.

•

Economic forecast – The Company utilizes a third party to provide economic forecasts under various scenarios, which are assessed against economic indicators and management’s observations in the market. As of June 30, 2025 , the Company selected a forecasted data model which projects unemployment between 5.28 % and 6.10 %, the change in Coincident Economic Activity between - 0.15 % and 0.53 %, the change in Commercial Real Estate Price Indexes between - 5.79 % and - 1.48 %, and the change in the Home Price Index between - 2.57 % and 2.06 % during the forecast periods. Management believes that the resulting quantitative reserve appropriately balances economic indicators with identified risks. As of March 31, 2025, the Company selected a forecast model which projects unemployment between 4.66 % and 5.57 %, the change in Coincident Economic Activity between 0.43 % and 1.18 %, the change in Commercial Real Estate Price Indexes between - 8.90 % and - 2.30 %, and the change in the Home Price Index between - 1.54 % and 3.08 % during the forecast periods. The historical averages for LCNB’s economic indicators are unemployment – 5.74 %, change in Coincident Economic Activity – 2.01 , change in Commercial Real Estate Price Indexes – 4.62 %, and change in Home Price Index – 2.81 %

QUALITATIVE CONSIDERATIONS

In addition to the quantitative model, management considers the need for qualitative adjustment for risks not considered in the DCF. Factors that are considered by management in determining loan collectability and the appropriate level of the ACL are listed below:

•

Actual and expected changes in international, national, regional, and local economic and business conditions and developments in which the Company operates that affect the collectability of financial assets;

•

The effect of other external factors such as the regulatory, legal and technological environments, competition, and events such as natural disasters or pandemics;

•

Model risk including statistical risk, reversion risk, timing risk, and model limitation risk;

•

Changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio and terms of loans; and

•

Lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and practices for collections, write-offs, and recoveries.

The ratio of the allowance for credit losses for loans to total loans at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was 0.71 % and 0.70 %, respectively.

For collateral dependent loans where management has determined that foreclosure of the collateral is probable, or where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment of the loan is to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, the allowance for credit losses is measured based on the difference between the fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell, and the amortized cost basis of the loan as of the measurement date.

The following table presents the carrying value and related allowance of collateral dependent individually evaluated loans by class segment at the dates indicated (in thousands):

NOTE 4 – LOANS (continued)

The risk characteristics of LCNB's material loan portfolio segments were as follows:

Commercial & Industrial Loans. LCNB’s commercial & industrial loan portfolio consists of loans for a variety of purposes, including, for example, loans to fund working capital requirements (such as inventory and receivables financing) and purchases of machinery and equipment. LCNB offers a variety of commercial & industrial loan arrangements, including term loans, balloon loans, and lines of credit. Commercial & industrial loans can have a fixed or variable rate, with maturities ranging from one to ten years. Commercial & industrial loans are offered to businesses and professionals for short and medium terms on both a collateralized and uncollateralized basis. Commercial & industrial loans typically are underwritten on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the business. Collateral, when obtained, may include liens on furniture, fixtures, equipment, inventory, receivables, or other assets. As a result, such loans involve complexities, variables, and risks that require thorough underwriting and more robust servicing than other types of loans.

Commercial, Secured by Real Estate Loans. Commercial real estate loans include loans secured by a variety of commercial, retail and office buildings, religious facilities, hotels, multifamily (more than four -family) residential properties, construction and land development loans, and other land loans. Mortgage loans secured by owner-occupied agricultural property are included in this category. Commercial real estate loan products generally amortize over five to twenty-five years and are payable in monthly principal and interest installments. Some have balloon payments due within one to ten years after the origination date. The majority have adjustable interest rates with adjustment periods ranging from one to ten years, some of which are subject to established “floor” interest rates.

Commercial real estate loans are underwritten based on the ability of the property, in the case of income-producing property, or the borrower’s business to generate sufficient cash flow to amortize the debt. Secondary emphasis is placed upon global debt service, collateral value, financial strength and liquidity of any and all guarantors, and other factors. Commercial real estate loans are generally originated with a 75 % to 85 % maximum loan to appraised value ratio, depending upon borrower occupancy rates.

Residential Real Estate Loans. Residential real estate loans include loans secured by first or second mortgage liens on one to four -family residential properties. Home equity lines of credit are also included in this category. First and second mortgage loans are generally amortized over five to thirty years with monthly principal and interest payments. Home equity lines of credit generally have a five year or less draw period with interest only payments followed by a repayment period with monthly payments based on the amount outstanding. LCNB offers both fixed and adjustable-rate mortgage loans. Adjustable-rate loans are available with adjustment periods ranging between one to fifteen years and adjust according to an established index plus a margin, subject to certain floor and ceiling rates. A substantial majority of home equity lines of credit have a variable rate of interest based on the Wall Street Journal prime rate plus a margin.

Residential real estate loans are underwritten primarily based on the borrower’s ability to repay, prior credit history, and the value of the collateral. LCNB generally requires private mortgage insurance for first mortgage loans that have a loan to appraised value ratio of greater than 80 % or may require other credit enhancements for second lien mortgage loans.

Consumer Loans. LCNB’s portfolio of consumer loans generally includes secured and unsecured loans to individuals for household, family and other personal expenditures. Secured loans include loans to fund the purchase of automobiles, recreational vehicles, boats, and similar acquisitions. Consumer loans made by LCNB generally have fixed rates and terms ranging up to 72 months, depending upon the nature of the collateral, size of the loan, and other relevant factors. Consumer loans generally have higher interest rates but pose additional risks of collectability and loss when compared to certain other types of loans. Collateral, if present, is generally subject to damage, wear, and depreciation. The borrower’s ability to repay is of primary importance in the underwriting of consumer loans.

Agricultural Loans. LCNB’s portfolio of agricultural loans includes loans for financing agricultural production and for financing the purchase of equipment used in the production of agricultural products. LCNB’s agricultural loans are generally secured by farm machinery, livestock, crops, vehicles, or other agricultural-related collateral.

Other Loans, Including Deposit Overdrafts. Other loans may include loans that do not fit in any of the other categories, but it is primarily composed of overdrafts from transaction deposit accounts. Overdraft payments are recorded as a recovery and overdrafts are generally written off after 60 days with a negative balance.

NOTE 4 – LOANS (continued)

LCNB’s management monitors the credit quality of its loans on an ongoing basis. This monitoring includes annual reviews for loans with a principal balance greater than $1 million and bi-annual reviews for loans with a principal balance of more than $500 thousand through $1 million. LCNB also has a loan grade monitoring system in place to track and report loan grades and classifications, enabling the identification and management of non-performing loans. Major factors used in determining loan grades vary based on the nature of the loan, but commonly include factors such as debt service coverage, internal cash flow, liquidity, leverage, operating performance, debt burden, FICO scores, occupancy, interest rate sensitivity, and expense burden. Commercial real estate loans rated OAEM or worse are reviewed at least quarterly for credit deterioration.

A loan is assigned to a risk category based on relevant information about the ability of the borrower to service the debt including, but not limited to, current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends. The categories used are:

	•	Pass – loans categorized in this category are higher quality loans that do not fit any of the other categories described below.
	•	Other Assets Especially Mentioned ("OAEM") – loans in this category are currently protected but are potentially weak. These loans constitute a risk but not to the point of justifying a classification of substandard. The credit risk may be relatively minor yet constitute an undue risk in light of the circumstances surrounding a specific asset.
	•	Substandard – loans in this category are inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the possibility that LCNB will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
	•	Doubtful – loans classified in this category have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

LCNB generally performs a classification of assets review, including the regulatory classification of assets, on an ongoing basis. The results of the classification of assets review are validated annually by an independent third -party loan review firm. In the event of a difference in rating or classification between those assigned by the internal and external resources, the Company will utilize the more critical or conservative rating or classification. Loans with regulatory classifications are presented monthly to the Board of Directors.

NOTE 4 – LOANS (continued)

From time to time, the terms of certain loans are modified when concessions are granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. Each modification is separately negotiated with the borrower and includes terms and conditions that reflect the borrower's ability to pay the debt as modified. The modification of the terms of such loans may have included one, or a combination of, the following: an interest rate reduction, term extension, forgiveness of principal, or an other-than-insignificant payment delay.

Excluding individually evaluated collateral dependent loans that are measured at fair value, the following tables present the amortized cost basis of loans modified during the reporting period for borrowers who were experiencing financial difficulty at the time of modification, disaggregated by class of financing receivable and type of concession granted (in thousands), as of June 30, 2024 and 2025 :

During the third quarter of 2024, one borrower defaulted on two consumer loans that underwent maturity-extension and payment-delay modifications during the second quarter of 2024 while the borrower was known to be experiencing financial difficulty. The borrower remained in default through February 2025. At June 30, 2025 , the amortized cost basis of these two consumer loans totaled $ 21 thousand. No other loans defaulted during the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2025 that, within twelve months prior to their default, were modified for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 , no loans defaulted which, in the twelve months preceding their default, were modified for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.

At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 , LCNB was not committed to lend additional funds to borrowers who, during the respective six -and- twelve -month reporting period, were granted loan modifications while experiencing financial difficulty.

Mortgage loans sold to and serviced for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and other investors are not included in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheets. The unpaid principal balances of those loans at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were approximately $ 348.0 million and $ 397.6 million, respectively.

NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

LCNB is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated condensed balance sheets. Exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other parties to financial instruments for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contract amount of those instruments.

In addition to such commitments to extend credit, LCNB may have services for customers in place that, though they obligate LCNB to provide credit on certain terms, do not constitute commitments to extend credit. For example, the Account Protection product, LCNB's deposit overdraft program, is offered as a service by LCNB and does not constitute a contract between the customer and LCNB.

LCNB uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (continued)

Financial instruments whose contract amounts represent off-balance-sheet credit risk at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were as follows (in thousands):

	June 30, 2025		December 31, 2024

Unused overdraft protection amounts on demand accounts		17,257		17,566
Standby letters of credit		5		5
Total commitments	$	280,887		290,512

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Unused lines of credit include amounts not drawn on line-of-credit loans. Commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These guarantees generally are fully secured and have varying maturities.

LCNB evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained is based on management's credit evaluation of the borrower and may include accounts receivable; inventory, property, plant, and equipment; residential realty; and income-producing commercial properties.

Activity in the allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures, recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated condensed balance sheets, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 is as follows (in thousands):

Capital expenditures include the construction or acquisition of new office buildings, improvements to LCNB's offices, purchases of furniture and equipment, and additions or improvements to LCNB's information technology system. Commitments outstanding for capital expenditures as of June 30, 2025 totaled approximately $ 60 thousand.

Management believes that LCNB has sufficient liquidity to fund its lending and capital expenditure commitments.

LCNB and its subsidiaries are parties to various claims and proceedings arising in the normal course of business. Management, after consultation with legal counsel, believes that the liabilities, if any, arising from such proceedings and claims will not be material to LCNB's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 13 – RETIREMENT PLANS

LCNB participates in a noncontributory defined benefit multi-employer retirement plan that covers substantially all regular full-time employees hired before January 1, 2009, on which date the plan was soft-frozen. Employees hired before this date who received a benefit reduction under certain amendments to the defined benefit retirement plan receive an automatic contribution of 5 % or 7 % of their annual compensation, depending on the sum of an employee's age and vesting service, into their defined contribution plans ( 401 (k) plans), regardless of the contributions made by the employees. These contributions are made annually and these employees did not receive any employer matches to their 401 (k) contributions until March 1, 2025 as described below.

The noncontributory defined benefit multi-employer retirement plan was hard-frozen on March 1, 2025, meaning that benefit increases will no longer accrue to covered employees as of that date.

Employees hired on or after January 1, 2009 receive a 50 % employer match on their contributions into the 401 (k) plan, up to a maximum LCNB contribution of 3 % of each individual employee's annual compensation. Employees who did not receive an employer match on their 401 (k) contributions because of their participation in the noncontributory defined benefit multi-employer retirement plan started receiving matches on March 1, 2025.

401(k) plan		223		200		483		420

Certain highly compensated former employees participate in a nonqualified defined benefit retirement plan. The nonqualified plan ensures that participants receive the full amount of benefits to which they would have been entitled under the noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan in the absence of limits on benefit levels imposed by certain sections of the Internal Revenue Code. This plan is limited to the original participants and no new participants have been added.

The net periodic pension cost of the nonqualified defined benefit retirement plan consists solely of interest cost of $ 18 thousand and $ 37 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and $ 18 thousand and $ 36 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 .

NOTE 14 – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

The 2025 Ownership Incentive Plan (the "2025 Plan") was ratified by LCNB Corp.'s shareholders at the annual meeting on May 19, 2025 and allows for stock-based awards to eligible employees and non-employee directors, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. It replaced the 2015 Ownership Incentive Plan (the "2015 Plan"), which terminated on April 28, 2025. Awards may be made in the form of stock options, appreciation rights, restricted shares, and/or restricted share units. The 2025 Plan provides for the issuance of up to 600 thousand shares of common stock, where the 2015 Plan provided for the issuance of up to 450 thousand shares of common stock. The 2025 Plan will terminate on May 19, 2035 and could be subject to earlier termination by the Board Compensation Committee.

Unrecognized compensation expense for restricted stock awards was $ 1.1 million at June 30, 2025 and is expected to be recognized over a period of 3.3 years.

NOTE 15 – EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

LCNB has granted restricted stock awards with non-forfeitable dividend rights, which are considered participating securities. Accordingly, earnings per share is computed using the two -class method as required by ASC No. 260 - 10 - 45. Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, which excludes the participating securities. Diluted earnings per common share is adjusted for the dilutive effects of stock options, warrants, and restricted stock. The diluted average number of common shares outstanding has been increased for the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants with proceeds used to purchase treasury shares at the average market price for the period.

Earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were calculated as follows (dollars in thousands, except share and per share data):

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,

NOTE 16 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

LCNB measures certain assets at fair value using various valuation techniques and assumptions, depending on the nature of the asset. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value are assigned to one of three broad levels:

•

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the reporting date.

•

Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices (such as interest rates or yield curves) that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

•

Level 3 – inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability.

EQUITY SECURITIES WITH A READILY DETERMINABLE FAIR VALUE

Equity securities with a readily determinable fair value are reported at fair value with changes in fair value reported in other operating income in the consolidated condensed statements of income. Fair values for equity securities are determined based on market quotations (level 1 ). LCNB has an investment in a mutual fund that is measured at fair value using net asset values, which are considered level 1 because the net asset values are determined and published and are the basis for current transactions.

DEBT SECURITIES, AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE

The majority of LCNB's financial debt securities are classified as available-for-sale. The securities are reported at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses reported net of income taxes in accumulated other comprehensive loss. LCNB utilizes a pricing service for determining the fair values of its debt securities. Methods and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value were as follows:

•

Fair values for U.S. Treasury notes are determined based on market quotations (level 1 ).

•

Fair values for the other debt securities are calculated using the discounted cash flow method for each security. The discount rates for these cash flows are estimated by the pricing service using rates observed in the market (level 2 ). Cash flow streams are dependent on estimated prepayment speeds and the overall structure of the securities given existing market conditions.

ASSETS RECORDED AT FAIR VALUE ON A NONRECURRING BASIS

Assets that may be recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include individually evaluated collateral dependent loans (or impaired loans prior to the adoption of ASC 326 ), other real estate owned, and other repossessed assets.

LCNB does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis, except for loans held-for-sale. However, from time to time, nonrecurring fair value adjustments to collateral dependent loans are recorded to reflect partial write-downs or specific reserves that are based on the observable market price or current estimated value of the collateral. These loans are reported in the nonrecurring table below at initial recognition of significant borrower distress and on an ongoing basis until recovery or charge-off. The fair values of distressed loans are determined using either the sales comparison approach or income approach. Respective unobservable inputs for the approaches consist of adjustments for differences between comparable sales and the utilization of appropriate capitalization rates.

The methodology to derive the fair value of loans at June 30, 2025 is consistent with the methodology utilized to determine the fair value of loans acquired in the Company’s recent acquisitions of CNNB and EFBI.

The fair values of off-balance-sheet financial instruments such as loan commitments and letters of credit are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements. The fair values of such instruments were not material at June 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024 .

Fair values of financial instruments are based on various assumptions, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Therefore, the fair values presented may not represent amounts that could be realized in actual transactions. In addition, because the required disclosures exclude certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments, any aggregation of the fair value amounts presented would not represent the underlying value of LCNB.

NOTE 17 - SEGMENT INFORMATION

LCNB has one reportable segment, which is determined by the members of the executive team who, as a group, act as the designated chief operating decision makers. Based upon information provided about LCNB's products and services offered, the reportable segment is primarily banking operations. The segment is also distinguished by the level of information provided to the chief operating decision makers, who use such information to review performance of various components of the business, such as branches, which are then aggregated if operating performance, products and services, and customers are similar. The chief operating decision makers will evaluate the financial performance of LCNB's business components by evaluating revenue streams, significant expenses, and budget to actual results in assessing LCNB's segment and in determining the allocation of resources. The chief operating decision makers use revenue streams to evaluate product pricing and significant expenses to assess performance and evaluate return on assets. The chief operating decision makers use consolidated net income to benchmark LCNB against its competitors. The benchmarking analysis coupled with monitoring of budget to actual results are used in assessing performance and in establishing compensation. Loans, investments, fiduciary income, and deposit service charges and fees provide the significant revenues in the banking operation. Interest expense, provisions for credit losses, and payroll provide the significant expenses in the banking operation. All operations are domestic.

Accounting policies for the reportable segment are the same as those described in Note 1 of Form 10 -K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Segment performance is evaluated using consolidated net income.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

Critical Accounting Estimates

The accounting policies of LCNB conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and require management to make estimates and develop assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related footnotes. These estimates and assumptions are based on information available to management as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ significantly from management’s estimates. As this information changes, management’s estimates and assumptions used to prepare LCNB’s financial statements and related disclosures may also change. The most significant accounting policies followed by LCNB are presented in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in LCNB's 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. Based on the valuation techniques used and the sensitivity of financial statement amounts to the methods, assumptions, and estimates underlying those amounts, management has identified the items described below to be the accounting areas that require the most subjective or complex judgments and, as such, could be most subject to revision as new information becomes available.

Business Combinations. Assets acquired, including identified intangible assets such as core deposit intangibles and liabilities assumed as a result of a merger or acquisition transaction, are recorded at their estimated fair values. The difference between the consideration paid and the net fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Management engages third-party specialists to assist in the development of fair value estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions used to value acquired assets and liabilities assumed include, but are not limited to, projected cash flows, future growth rates, repayment rates, default rates and losses assuming default, discount rates, and realizable collateral values. The allowance for credit losses for PCD loans is recognized within acquisition accounting. The allowance for credit losses for non-PCD assets is recognized as provision for credit losses in the same reporting period as the merger or acquisition. Fair value adjustments are amortized or accreted into the income statement over the estimated lives of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The purchase date valuations and any subsequent adjustments determine the amount of goodwill recognized in connection with the merger or acquisition.

Preliminary estimates of fair values may be adjusted for a period of time no greater than one year subsequent to the merger or acquisition date if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the merger or acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date. Adjustments recorded during this period are recognized in the current reporting period.

Allowance for Credit Losses. The allowance is maintained at a level LCNB management believes is adequate to absorb estimated credit losses identified and inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is established through a provision for credit losses charged as an expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for credit losses when management believes that the collectability of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb estimated losses over the contractual terms in the loan portfolio based on evaluations of the collectability of loans and prior loan loss experience. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, and current and forecasted economic conditions that may affect the borrowers' ability to pay. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

LCNB CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

See Note 1- Basis of Presentation - Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements in the 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further detailed descriptions of LCNB's estimation process and methodology related to the allowance. See also Note 4 – Loans in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information regarding LCNB's loan portfolio and allowance.

Accounting for Intangibles. LCNB’s intangible assets are composed primarily of goodwill and core deposit intangibles related to acquisitions of other financial institutions.

Accounting rules require LCNB to determine the fair value of all the assets and liabilities of an acquired entity and to record their fair values on the date of acquisition. LCNB employs a variety of means in determining fair values, including the use of discounted cash flow analysis, market comparisons, and projected future revenue streams. For those items for which management concludes that LCNB has the appropriate expertise to determine fair value, management may choose to use its own calculation of fair value. In other cases, where the fair value is not readily determined, consultation with outside parties is used to determine fair value. Once valuations have been determined, the net difference between the price paid for the acquired entity and the fair value of the balance sheet is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is assessed at least annually for impairment, with any such impairment recognized in the period identified. A more frequent assessment is performed if there are material changes in the marketplace or within the organizational structure.

Core deposit intangibles acquired from business combinations are initially measured at their estimated fair values and are then amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Management evaluates whether triggering events or circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining useful life or carrying value of the amortizing intangible should be revised.

Fair Value Accounting for Debt Securities. Debt securities classified as available-for-sale are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. Available-for-sale debt securities in unrealized loss positions are evaluated to determine if the decline in fair value should be recorded in income or in other comprehensive income (loss). LCNB first determines if it intends to sell or if it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either criteria is met, the security's amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. If neither of these criteria is met, LCNB evaluates whether the decline in fair value resulted from credit factors. In making this determination, management considers, among other factors, the extent to which fair value is less than the amortized cost basis, any changes to the rating of the security by rating agencies, and any adverse conditions specifically related to the security or issuer. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a provision is recorded to the allowance for credit losses. Any decline in fair value not recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable taxes.

Results of Operations

Net income for the respective three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $5.9 million (total basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.41) and $10.5 million (total basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.74). This compares to net income of $0.9 million (total basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.07) and $2.8 million (total basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.21) for the same three and six-month periods in 2024. Results for the 2024 periods were affected by expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition of EFBI on April 12, 2024 and CNNB on November 1, 2023.

Net interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $17.5 million and $33.8 million, respectively. This compares to net interest income of $15.2 million and $29.1 million for the same three and six-month periods in 2024. The growth in net interest income was primarily due to a decrease on the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities and a decrease in the average balances of these liabilities, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of loans outstanding. LCNB's tax equivalent net interest margin for the first six months of 2025 was 3.36%, compared to 2.80% for the same period last year.

LCNB recorded a provision for credit losses of $18 thousand and $215 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. This compares to a provision of $528 thousand and $653 thousand for the same three and six-month periods in 2024. The provisions for 2024 included $763 thousand recognized on non-PCD loans acquired through the EFBI merger.

Non-interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $5.2 million and $10.5 million, respectively. This compares to non-interest income of $4.1 million and $8.0 million for the same periods in 2024. The increases were primarily due to higher amounts of net gains from sales of loans, fiduciary income, service charges and fees on deposit accounts, and other income. Partially offsetting non-interest income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was an $843 thousand pretax loss on the sale of approximately $48.9 million of below market rate loans acquired from CNNB.

Non-interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was $15.6 million and $31.4 million, respectively. This compares to non-interest expense of $17.8 million and $33.3 million for the same three and six-month periods in 2024. The decreases were primarily due to lower merger related expenses, partially offset by operating expenses associated with the EFBI acquisition during April 2024 and increased marketing expenses compared to the same period last year. LCNB had $2.3 million and $3.1 million of one-time merger-related expenses that occurred during the three and six months ended June 30 2024, respectively, compared to $140 thousand of such expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

Net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis for the three months ended June 30, 2025 totaled $17.6 million, an increase of $2.3 million from the comparable period in 2024. Total interest expense decreased $3.3 million, partially offset by a $1.0 million decrease in total interest income .

The $1.0 million decrease in total interest income was primarily due to a $1.0 million decrease in loan interest income. The decrease in loan interest income was primarily due to a $99.3 million decrease in average loan balances, partially offset by a 7 basis point (a basis point equals 0.01%) increase in the average rate earned on the loan portfolio.

The $3.3 million decrease in total interest expense was primarily due to a $150.6 million decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities and to a 61 basis point decrease in the average rate paid for these liabilities.

Net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis for the six months ended June 30, 2025 totaled $33.9 million, an increase of $4.7 million from the comparable period in 2024. Total interest income decreased $463 thousand and total interest expense decreased $5.2 million.

The $463 thousand decrease in total interest income was primarily due to a $499 thousand decrease in loan interest income. The decrease in loan interest income was primarily due to a $50.0 million decrease in average loan balances, partially offset by an 11 basis point increase in the average rate earned on the loan portfolio.

The $5.2 million decrease in total interest expense was primarily due to a $93.2 million decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities and to a 50 basis point decrease in the average rate paid for these liabilities.

Provision and Allowance For Credit Losses

LCNB continuously reviews the loan portfolio for credit risk through the use of its lending and loan review functions. Independent loan reviews analyze specific loans, providing validation that credit risks are appropriately identified, graded, and reported to the Loan Committee, Board of Directors, and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. New credits meeting specific criteria are analyzed prior to origination and are reviewed by the Loan Committee, the Loan Committee of the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors.

The total provision for credit losses is determined based upon management's evaluation as to the amount needed to maintain the allowance for credit losses at a level considered appropriate in relation to the risk of losses inherent in the portfolio. For analysis purposes, the loan portfolio is separated into pools of similar loans. These pools include commercial and industrial loans, owner occupied commercial real estate loans, non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans, real estate loans secured by farms, real estate loans secured by multi-family dwellings, residential real estate loans secured by senior liens on 1-4 family dwellings, residential real estate loans secured by junior liens on 1-4 family dwellings, home equity line of credit loans, consumer loans, loans for agricultural purposes not secured by real estate, construction loans secured by 1-4 family dwellings, construction loans secured by other real estate, and several smaller classifications. Within each pool of loans, LCNB examines a variety of factors to determine the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, including historic charge-off percentages, overall pool quality, a review of specific problem loans, current economic trends and conditions that may affect borrowers' ability to pay, and the nature, volume, and consistency of the loan pool.

LCNB recorded a provision for credit losses of $18 thousand for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $528 thousand for the comparable period in 2024. The provision for the 2025 period included a provision for credit losses on loans of $63 thousand and a recovery on off-balance-sheet credit exposures of $45 thousand. The provision for the 2024 period included a provision for credit losses on loans of $542 thousand and a net recovery for off-balance-sheet credit exposures of $16 thousand. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, LCNB recorded a provision for credit losses of $215 thousand, compared to a provision of $653 thousand for the comparable period in 2024. The provision for the six months ended June 30, 2025 included a provision for credit losses on loans of $225 thousand and a recovery on off-balance-sheet credit exposures of $11 thousand. The provision for the 2024 six-month period included a provision for credit losses on loans of $620 thousand and a provision for off-balance-sheet credit exposures of $33 thousand.

The provisions for credit losses on loans during the three and six-month 2024 periods included $763,000 recognized on non-PCD loans acquired through the EFBI merger and the six-month period included a $1.2 million increase for a commercial real estate, non-owner occupied loan that was individually evaluated for the first time during the first quarter 2024. These increases were largely offset by a recovery of credit losses in the pooled real estate mortgage loan category. The residential real estate mortgage loan category had a recovery of credit losses primarily due to a decrease in loss rates and a decrease in loan balances caused by a transfer to the loans held-for-sale category.

The provisions for credit losses on loans during the three and six-month 2025 periods benefited from a reversal of the $1.2 million increase for a commercial real estate, non-owner occupied loan originally recognized during the first quarter 2024 and mentioned in the previous paragraph. LCNB entered into a contract to sell the property during the second quarter of 2025.

Calculating an appropriate level for the allowance and provision for credit losses involves a high degree of management judgment and is, by its nature, imprecise. Revisions may be necessary as more information becomes available or if market conditions change.

Net charge-offs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 totaled $79 thousand and $118 thousand, respectively, compared to net charge-offs of $18 thousand and $63 thousand for the same respective periods in 2024.

Non-Interest Income

Total non-interest income	$	5,248		4,080		1,168		10,470		8,009			2,461

Reasons for changes include:

•

Fiduciary income increased primarily due to increases in the fair values of trust and brokerage assets managed, on which fees are based. The increases in fair value are due to market-related increases in the fair value of these assets and to the opening of new Wealth Management customer accounts.

•

Service charges and fees on deposit accounts increased primarily due to increased fee income received on the Insured Cash Sweep product and secondarily to an increase in overdraft fees.

•

There were no sales of debt securities during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

•

Net gains from sales of loans increased because net gains for 2024 included an $843,000 pretax loss on the sale of approximately $48.9 million of below market rate loans acquired from CNNB.

•

Other operating income increased primarily due to unrealized gains recognized from increases in the market value of equity security investments and to a decrease in amortization of capitalized mortgage servicing rights, which amortization is netted for accounting purposes against fee income recognized from the servicing of sold residential mortgage loans.

Total non-interest expense	$	15,567		17,825		(2,258	)		31,376		33,297		(1,921	)

Reasons for changes include:

•

Salaries and employee benefits for the six-month period increased due to overall wage and benefit increases, an increased number of employees due to the acquisition of EFBI, and higher health insurance costs.

•

Marketing expenses increased due to development costs for a new marketing brand awareness campaign and timing involving other marketing efforts. Management anticipates that marketing expenses will normalize through the remainder of the year.

•

Merger-related expenses during 2025 and 2024 reflect costs incurred in connection with the acquisitions of EFBI and CNNB.

•

Other non-interest expense for the first half of 2025 includes a $73 thousand impairment charge on the fair value of a closed office. The remaining net increase can be attributed to smaller increases in various other accounts.

Income Taxes

LCNB's effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 was 17.8% and 17.2%, respectively, compared to 2.0% and 10.4% for the same respective periods in 2024. The difference between the statutory rate of 21% and the effective tax rates is primarily due to tax-exempt interest income from municipal securities, tax-exempt earnings from bank-owned life insurance, tax-exempt earnings from LCNB Risk Management, Inc., and tax credits and losses related to investments in affordable housing tax credit limited partnerships. The effective tax rates for 2024 were lower due to tax-exempt items not decreasing in proportion to the overall decrease in earnings, partially offset by the tax effect of non-deductible merger-related expenses.

NM - Not Meaningful

Reasons for changes include:

	•	Debt securities, available-for-sale, decreased due to maturities and paydowns, partially offset by a decrease in unrealized losses. Purchases of new securities during the period were minimal.
	•	Debt securities, held-to-maturity, increased due to purchases of new securities.

	•	Loans held-for-sale increased due to an increase in single-family residential loans originated for sale in the secondary market.
	•	Loans, net decreased primarily due to decreases in commercial and industrial loans, non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans, and multi-family commercial real estate loans. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in owner occupied commercial real estate loans.
	•	Premises and equipment decreased due to the transfer of the Florence building to premises held-for-sale, which is included in the other assets classification.

•

Total interest-bearing deposits increased primarily due to an increase in deposits obtained through the ICS service, partially offset by decreases in IRA and time certificate deposits.

•

Long-term debt decreased due to the early payoff of $50 million in advances bearing a weighted average interest rate of 4.23% from the FHLB of Cincinnati. Funds for the payoff were provided by the increase in ICS deposits mentioned above, resulting in an overall decrease in the average interest rate.

•

Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of taxes decreased because of market-driven partial recoveries in the fair value of LCNB's available-for-sale debt securities investments.

LCNB's loan portfolio represents its largest asset category and is its most significant source of interest income. Loan classifications have been identified as Commercial & Industrial, Commercial Real Estate, Residential Real Estate, Consumer, Agricultural, and Other. Commercial real estate is the largest classification in LCNB's loan portfolio, comprising about 65% of total loans at June 30, 2025.

Loans secured by commercial real estate consist of owner-occupied, non-owner-occupied, farmland, multi-family, and construction loans. A commercial real estate, owner-occupied loan finances the purchase, construction, or refinance of a building or other property for which the repayment of principal is dependent upon cash flows from ongoing operations conducted by the party, or an affiliate of the party, who owns the property. A commercial real estate, non-owner occupied loan finances the purchase, construction or refinance of a building or other property for which the repayment of principal is dependent upon rental income associated with the property or the subsequent sale of the property. The values of these loans are primarily impacted by the level of interest rates associated with the debt and to local economic conditions, which dictate occupancy rates and the amount of rent charged. The increase in debt service due to higher interest rates may not be able to be passed on to tenants. As part of the origination process, loan interest rates and occupancy rates are stressed to determine the impact on the borrower’s ability to maintain adequate debt service under different economic conditions. Further, LCNB monitors the concentration in any one industry and has established limits relative to the total of the Bank's tier 1 and tier 2 capital for each category of loan. Credit quality trends are monitored by industry to determine if a change in the risk exposure to a certain industry may warrant a change in underwriting standards.

The following table provides a breakdown of amortized cost of commercial real estate loans by property-type classification as of June 30, 2025, excluding loans which are junior in lien or covered by collateral secured with varying classes of assets (dollars in thousands):

Regulatory Capital

The Bank must meet certain minimum capital requirements set by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on the Company's and the Bank's financial statements. LCNB’s and the Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

In addition to the minimum capital requirements, a financial institution needs to maintain a Capital Conservation Buffer composed of Common Equity Tier 1 Capital of at least 2.5% above its minimum risk-weighted capital requirements to avoid limitations on its ability to make capital distributions, including dividend payments to shareholders and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. A financial institution with a buffer below 2.5% is subject to increasingly stringent limitations on capital distributions as the buffer approaches zero.

For various regulatory purposes, financial institutions are classified into categories based upon capital adequacy:

				Minimum
				Requirement			To Be
				with Capital			Considered
	Minimum			Conservation			Well-
	Requirement			Buffer			Capitalized
Ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 Capital to risk-weighted assets		4.5	%		7.0	%		6.5	%
Ratio of Tier 1 Capital to risk-weighted assets		6.0	%		8.5	%		8.0	%
Ratio of Total Capital (Tier 1 Capital plus Tier 2 Capital) to risk-weighted assets		8.0	%		10.5	%		10.0	%
Leverage Ratio (Tier 1 Capital to adjusted quarterly average total assets)		4.0	%	NA				5.0	%

As of the most recent notification from their regulators, the Bank and LCNB were categorized as "well-capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. Management believes that no conditions or events have occurred since the last notification that would change the Bank's or LCNB's category.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

A summary of the Bank's regulatory capital and capital ratios follows (dollars in thousands):

	June 30, 2025			December 31, 2024
Regulatory Capital:
Shareholders' equity	$	268,215			259,811
Goodwill and other intangibles		(99,688	)		(100,279	)
Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net		13,729			19,189
Tier 1 risk-based capital		182,256			178,721
Eligible allowance for credit losses		12,020			11,805
Total risk-based capital	$	194,276			190,526
Capital ratios:
Common Equity Tier 1 Capital to risk-weighted assets		10.21	%		9.94	%
Tier 1 Capital to risk-weighted assets		10.21	%		9.94	%
Total Capital to risk-weighted assets		10.88	%		10.60	%
Leverage		8.32	%		7.94	%

Qualifications for community banking organizations to use a simplified measure of capital adequacy approach include having a tier 1 leverage ratio of greater than 9%, less than $10 billion in total consolidated assets, and limited amounts of off-balance-sheet exposures and trading assets and liabilities. A qualifying community banking organization that opts into the Community Bank Leverage Ratio framework and meets all requirements under the framework will be considered to have met the well-capitalized ratio requirements under the Prompt Corrective Action regulations and will not be required to report or calculate risk-based capital. LCNB did not qualify to use the simplified measure for the June 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024 regulatory capital calculations.

Liquidity

Effective liquidity management ensures that cash is available to meet the cash flow needs of borrowers and depositors, pay dividends to shareholders, and meet LCNB's operating cash needs. Primary funding sources include customer deposits with the Bank, short-term and long-term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank, line of credit arrangements totaling $115.0 million with three correspondent banks, and interest and repayments received from LCNB's loan and investment portfolios. In addition, LCNB has approximately $60.9 million in off-balance sheet insured cash sweeps immediately available for liquidity.

Total remaining borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank at June 30, 2025 was approximately $148.1 million. Additional borrowings of approximately $115.0 million were available through line of credit arrangements with correspondent banks.

Management closely monitors the level of liquid assets available to meet ongoing funding needs. It is management's intent to maintain adequate liquidity so that sufficient funds are readily available at a reasonable cost. LCNB experienced no liquidity or operational problems as a result of current liquidity levels. Management believes LCNB has the ability to generate and obtain adequate amounts of liquidity to meet its requirements in the short and long-term.

Commitments to extend credit at June 30, 2025 totaled $280.9 million and are more fully described in Note 11 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities to LCNB's condensed consolidated financial statements. Since many commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash required to satisfy the commitment reported prior to its expiration.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk for LCNB is primarily due to interest rate risk. LCNB attempts to mitigate this risk through asset/liability management strategies designed to decrease the vulnerability of its earnings to material and prolonged changes in interest rates. LCNB does not use derivatives such as interest rate swaps, caps, or floors to hedge this risk. LCNB has not entered into any market risk instruments for trading purposes.

The Bank's Asset and Liability Management Committee primarily uses a combination of Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis ("IRSA") and Economic Value of Equity ("EVE") analysis for measuring and managing interest rate risk. IRSA is used to estimate the effect on net interest income ("NII") during a one-year period of instantaneous and sustained movements in interest rates, also called interest rate shocks, of 100, 200, and 300 basis points. The annual base projection uses a current interest rate scenario. As shown below, the June 30, 2025 IRSA indicates that an increase in interest rates would have a negative effect on NII, while a decrease in interest rates would have a positive effect on NII. The changes in NII for all rate shock scenarios are within LCNB's acceptable ranges.

			$ Change in			% Change in
Rate Shock Scenario in Basis Points	Amount		NII			NII			Limits
	(Dollars in thousands)
Up 300	$	85,971		(1,010	)		(1.16	)%		15	%
Up 200		86,518		(462	)		(0.53	)%		10	%
Up 100		86,939		(42	)		(0.05	)%		5	%
Base		86,981		—			—	%		0	%
Down 100		87,076		95			0.11	%		5	%
Down 200		87,499		519			0.60	%		10	%
Down 300		87,875		895			1.03	%		15	%

The IRSA shows the effect on NII during a one-year period only. A longer-range model is the EVE analysis, which shows, accounting for the same rate shocks, the estimated present value of future cash inflows from interest-earning assets less the present value of future cash outflows for interest-bearing liabilities for the same rate shocks. As shown below, the June 30, 2025 EVE analysis indicates that an increase in interest rates will have a negative effect on the EVE and a decrease in interest rates will have a positive effect on the EVE. The changes in EVE for all rate shock scenarios are within LCNB's acceptable ranges .

			$ Change in			% Change in
Rate Shock Scenario in Basis Points	Amount		EVE			EVE			Limits
	(Dollars in thousands)
Up 300	$	216,596		(33,470	)		(13.39	)%		25	%
Up 200		231,131		(18,935	)		(7.57	)%		20	%
Up 100		245,953		(4,113	)		(1.65	)%		15	%
Base		250,066		—			—	%		—	%
Down 100		270,180		20,113			8.04	%		15	%
Down 200		282,844		32,777			13.11	%		20	%
Down 300		299,585		49,519			19.80	%		25	%

The IRSA and EVE simulations discussed above are not projections of future income or equity and should not be relied on as being indicative of future operating results. Assumptions used, including the nature and timing of interest rate levels, yield curve conditions, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, and reinvestment or replacement of asset and liability cash flows, are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the models cannot precisely measure future NII or equity. Furthermore, the models do not reflect actions that borrowers, depositors, and management may take in response to changing economic conditions and interest rate levels.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Except for routine litigation incidental to its business, LCNB is not a party to any material pending legal proceedings and none of its property is the subject of any material proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Readers should carefully consider the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in LCNB's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

During the period covered by this report, LCNB did not sell any of its securities that were not registered under the Securities Act.

Under the Issuer Stock Repurchase Plan Agreement (the "Plan"), LCNB may purchase common shares through various means such as open market transactions, including block purchases and privately negotiated transactions. The number of shares repurchased and the timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases are determined at LCNB's discretion. Factors include, but are not limited to, share price, trading volume, and general market conditions, along with LCNB’s general business conditions. The Plan may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not obligate LCNB to acquire any specific number of its common shares.

As part of the Plan, LCNB entered into a trading plan adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The 10b5-1 trading plan permits common shares to be repurchased at times that LCNB might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws or self-imposed trading restrictions. The 10b5-1 trading plan is administered by an independent broker and is subject to price, market volume, and timing restrictions.

On February 27, 2023, LCNB's Board of Directors authorized the Plan. Under the terms of the Plan, LCNB is authorized to repurchase up to 500,000 of its outstanding common shares. The Plan replaced and superseded LCNB’s prior Issuer Stock Repurchase Plan Agreement, which was adopted on May 27, 2022.

The following table sets forth information related to repurchases made under the Plan during the three months ended June 30, 2025:

			Total Number of	Maximum Number
			Shares Purchased	of Shares that May
